Is your load hotter than max load in the manuals for the powder you're using?NoHave you chronographed the load?NoCan you provide a photo of the end of the case, so we can get a good look at the primer (for primer analysis)?I'll try, but I’m not too good at photography
Skipped all the way to the front. Problem is real simple....TOO MUCH HEAD SPACE....!!!! Not a major problem if your rifle is accurate. I have a 300wm that drives tacks but eats brass. Not uncommon on belted mags because they seat on the base instead of the neck. If if drives tacks live with it and count reloads, but if not have it set back to minimum and it will shoot a couple more times. Better yet go to to a mag based on the 404 and the brass will last as long as the old 06. Not a crisis as it never does it the first round, and if it it does then you have major problems and a 1-2 threads will be needed. Personally screw the belteds with the new mags factory loaded with factory brass.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Load them to the top and and then some and they like it...just like the old college co-ed. Man those were the days.
